Unlike other chart stars, the Red singer says that she wants to expose herself through her music rather than her clothing.

The 24-year-old tells the US version of Glamour: "I find it relatively easy to keep my clothes on because I don't really feel like taking them off. It's not an urge I have.

"For me 'risky' is revealing what really happened in my life through music. Risky is writing confessional songs and telling the true story about a person with enough details so everyone knows who that person is.

"That's putting myself out there, maybe even more than taking my shirt off."

Taylor also opened up about her views on relationships, saying: " I think everyone should approach relationships from the perspective of playing it straight and giving someone the benefit of the doubt.

"Until he establishes that this is a game. And if it's a game, you need to win. The best thing to do is just walk away from the table."

She added: "Silence speaks so much louder than screaming tantrums. Never give anyone an excuse to say that you're crazy."
